My Name is
Jamila Naomi
Jamila Naomi
Naomi's mother gave her over to the care of her aunt. However, her aunt was soon unable to care for her. Her father was mentally ill and also unable to care for her. Her aunt contacted social services for aid, wanting to offer Naomi a brighter future, and social services then contacted Rafiki. Naomi arrived at the Rafiki Village in 2008. Her favorite subject is science because she understands that God has created her for a purpose and that her body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. Naomi also enjoys science because she hopes to become a surgeon in the future! She has learned from the Rafiki Bible Study to overcome evil with good, love even those who do not agree with her, and seek Jesus daily.
